    Well, it’s a lower mid-tier phone. It exists to make you want to upgrade to a higher tier.

      I’ve been using mid-tier phones for the past ~10 years (including Samsung A series in the last 5) and I’ve never experienced a mid-tier smartphone working this bad on release.

        I’ll take your word for it, and believe you. I always buy the last, or next to last generation.

        But never Samsung.

          Don’t get me wrong, I got a work issued Galaxy Note 3 in 2014 and I swore off Samsung for 6 years. I liked the phone itself, but software experience was just so bad. It felt like a completely different device after Installed Lineage OS.

          But then tried the A50 (after reading several in-depth reviews) and I’ve been buying mid-tier Samsung device for myself and the family sense then.
